Some finite elements for the approximation to the solution of the Reissner–Mindlin plate problem are presented. All of them take advantage of a stabilization technique recently proposed by Arnold and Brezzi. Moreover, a kinematically linked interpolation approach has been used to improve the convergence features. A general theoretical analysis of stability and convergence is also provided, together with extensive numerical tests.

The purpose of this paper is to present the formulation of a new sector finite element based on the strain approach for the numerical analysis of circular thin plate bending. The element is named SBSPK and has four nodes and three degrees of freedom per node (3 d.o.f./node). From several numerical examples, it is shown that convergence can be achieved with the use of only a small number of finite elements. The results obtained are compared with analytical and available numerical solutions.

In this work, four different transition plate elements are derived and used for the finite element analysing of plate bending problems. The Mindlin plate theory is used in the element formulations. So the transverse shear is also included in the solutions. The coefficients of trial functions are selected from the Pascal triangle using a practical rule. An existing finite element program is improved by adding new type transition plate elements. All Fortran IV codes are changed to Fortran 95 codes in the existing program. To verify the developed elements, a cantilever plate and plate bending problems are solved. Their results are compared with ANSYS results.
